Holes in a Good World

We began our new series Seven on Sunday based largely on the book of the same title by pastor, author and professor Jeff Cook. In it he suggests that the seven deadly sins are the force that creates holes in our relationships, our souls and our world. Conversely, the Beatitudes are Jesus' pictures of a restored creation. 

We spent quite a bit of our time Sunday considering the concept of sin. Most of us tend to think of sin as a thing or an action and not an absence. What do you think of the concept of sin as a void? Consider spending some time reading and thinking some more about the parable of the sower (Luke 8:5-8). In what way does God want to fill the voids in our world through you?
